This Day in Rock History - Feb. 24th

1976: The Eagles’ Greatest Hits (1971-1975) becomes the first album ever certified “platinum,” indicating sales of one million copies. It is not the first album to sell over a million copies, but it is the first one whose sales are certified.

That album, by the way, eventually passed the sales of Michael Jackson’s Thriller to become the best-selling album of all time.
